Hi,
Ive got an 08 2.0TDI A4 B8 with 6spd manual, I had a stuck front drivers side caliper and i replaced it, i went to bleed my brakes but only the front passenger and rear drivers side bleeds with the pedal.
I know there are usually two diagonal circuits for the brakes. Ive tried using a bleeder tool that uses vacuum to bleed the brakes but no joy and ive tried the one that puts pressure on the brake reservoir, the clutch is bled and works just one complete circuit doesn't and i cant bleed it.

I have VCDS and i have the Bosch 8.0 ABS/ECU there are no codes, ive read that i can bleed using vcds but the instructions i have are for the MK60 like on my B6 passat.
I have tried changing the master cylinder with a used on but its still the same.
Ive switched the main lines from the master cylinder around but it only reverse the situation and the working bleedable brakes no longer bleed.
Im thinking there may be an issue with the pump but does anyone know how to bleed using VCDS?
Any ideas, my car is really dodgy to drive and there are no abs/esp lights etc
thanks folks
